Bill Withers' Ain’t No Sunshine performed by Kris Allen on American Idol

On Tuesday’s American Idol, the Top 9 contestants were given the liberty to pick any song as long as it’s a popular download on iTunes.Kris Allen likes taking old songs and making them contemporary.

Accompanied by a string section, he sang “Ain’t No Sunshine” by Bill Withers, ditching the guitar for the keyboards.I have to admit that he delivered this time. The song came across emotional and moving.
